China urges all relevant parties to adhere to the temporary ceasefire, said Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun in Beijing on Tuesday, in response to a media query regarding the latest round of talks between the United States and Iran in Islamabad, Pakistan.
Guo described the current ceasefire as fragile, saying that the situation in the region is at a critical stage.
"The current ceasefire is highly fragile and the regional situation has come to a critical stage. The pressing priority is to prevent by all means a relapse in fighting and maintain the momentum for ceasefire that did not come easy. Relevant parties should adhere to the temporary ceasefire and stick to resolving disputes through political and diplomatic means. China will continue working with the international community for peace, bring parties to the table and strive for the early return of peace and stability to the Middle East," said Guo.
